That was, by far, the most informative, easy to understand UA-cam instruction use video I've ever watched in my life. And what a great idea to add some postive reinforcement at the end.
What a great instructor/teacher you must be. Thank you very much, sir.
*And what a great way to encourage others to indirectly communicate to those that watch instructions videos, that we're not using tool's wrong. That instead to troubleshoot a solution with the tools we have.
Well said, sir
That is wonderful feedback. Thank you for the comment!
I inherited a combo square from my grandpa. It sat in the bottom of my toolbox for 20 years before I found a reason to use it (I'm not a super big project kind of guy), but it came in handy when I finally needed it to rebuild a wooden fence gate.
So many channels spend too much time gabbing, making jokes, not to mention cinematic intros. lol I prefer to get in and get out with the info I need vs. hang out for the day. I like your style because you SHOW what you are talking about vs. just talking about it and THEN demonstrating it. Great job. On another note, I have a quick question: If you were to choose one, would you get a speed square or a combination square? Do I need both? II am interested in woodworking, not carpentry.
Hey Jeff! Go with the combination square. :)
Wow, I had no idea how to use that, and now I feel like a pro at it 🤯 great instructional video!!
The scribe tool is used to scratch into steel plates. To cut using torch for later. Iron workers use this too everyday to get 45° angles on a plate and make cuts.
Thanks for the concise and professional presentation. Now I can use my set square with confidence!
Thanks for the comment.
I didn't realize my whole life that this is a tool that I miss most!!!!:)
i been doing Construction for awhile but i never seen a video about the Combination Square As Well Explained As Yours!! thanks for Sharing
Thanks for dropping a comment!
@@TrainingHandsAcademy youwelcome
You can also use the square as a compass to draw circles.
how???
@@kobragangbitfirst you need to have a square with a hole. Assuming you have one this is how you do it.
First adjust the square to where you want it so you can make the right size circle. Be sure the 45 degree angle is facing up.
Next put a nail through the hole in the ruler and hold it tightly
Then put a pencil in the 45 degree piece and draw a circle.
Well I've been under-using my combo square and had no idea. Thanks!
Great information, although a bit fast paced for me 😁 I will have to re-watch a few times to soak it all in as I am not a wooder. Another use for this tool on the mechanics side of things, (which is why I got one,) is to use it to set the offset on a harley spoked wheel. Set straight edge against the hub with the square against the side of the hub. Use the level for getting it just right, and then measure the distance from the hub end to the rim. Make spoke adjustments as needed to move left or right. there ya go!
Thank you for an awesome channel. Been wood working for about a year and appreciate the useful information....
Learned so much from this video.. Particularly the blade angle setup for the table saw.....
Hey Zane! I'm glad you're getting some value out of the channel. Thanks for commenting!
So glad I came across your channel. Bought one of these recently for something else and you showed me so many different uses. Especially my older miter saw. Thank you.
Thanks for the video I use a lot of your educational videos to guide my self thru projects.just wanted to say thank you your a pretty good teacher and the way you explain things I get it pretty quickly. Thank you sir 🙏
I appreciate that!
Thank you! Very informative, no time wasted, all seconds worth to watch, no need to skip part of video. SUBSCRIBED !

Pin makes it easy to use chisel on the line drawn. Pencil is error prone.
Thanks! Starting out in a pipe trades foundation course and this was super informative and easy to understand. Cheers!

Glad I could help!
Awesome! Just found this in my tool box had no idea what it was

I came looking to see how a combo square worked, because I was going to buy just a plain old normal square to realign my daughter's wonky wardrobe. Now I'll get the combo square. Thanks for the video, it was informative and to the point😊👌🏾👍🏾
Glad you liked it!
Best video own its class I ´ve seen so far !!

Great to hear Maple Court Crafts! Thank you for watching.
Yeah baby. My Swanson 12” just got delivered five minutes ago and I have no clue what to do with the thing. Had a feeling THA would have me covered 🪚
That was very helpful. Thanks.
Great information for a beginner like myself. Adding instructions on reinstalling the blade to the base would have been helpful too. Thanks again!
Great suggestion!
Great ideas, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I really enjoy your presentation and commentary! Outstanding! Semper Fi
Excellent insights, well thought out and nicely presented! I'd never taken the time to see everything this little tool could do. I think I'll keep using my punch over the scribe tool though...so much easier whenever you're awkwardly off balance with only one hand available!
Thanks for the comment my friend.
I just bought this item 5 years ago for leveling and a ruler but after watching this video got shock because of so manu use of this tools
this was great. very well done. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I cannot believe I have missed all these features as I have one my draw and never used it thanks for the advice 👌
You’re welcome 😊
Beautiful! I use a 4-1/2” & 7” speed/rafter square @ work but I’ve always wondering what was the diff was with a combo square... looking all fancy 😂 Outside of potential accuracy I guess, Thanks! Next I’m gunna figure out what the dastardly “double square” is used for 😃
Great video ❤ thanks keep on the good work
Wow!...owned one of these forever and never thought about using the scribe tool!...excellent video!!...subbed!!
I've used the scribe for metalworking with the square, mark cut lines with it.
Yes, I think it works better on metal than wood. :)
